New Person saying hello

Kateblanchette · 03-01-13, 03:34 AM

Good Morning/Afternoon, wherever you are!

As encouraged by the welcome message from the dite's "Cheif Bottle Washer", I bid you all Hail and welcome.

I live in Australia, in Darwin.

I appreciate Silent Hunter 4 enough to reload it when my computer felt the need to stop working. I had loaded 'trigger maru 1.4' in the past, but lost all of that, so I'm here to rectify this, and to add to it.

I found 1.4 a tad easy, with a few tactics of my own. Am hoping to download more, and restore my fav game to it's former glory, maybe better.

I'm married with one step daughter, (17) and a two and a half year old daughter of my own. I used to spend a fair bit of time on SH4. I play ONLY on the toughest settings, but my own enthusiasm for attacking gets in the way of my survival. My best performance from Dec 7 1941 onward was all the way to April 1944, where my highly experienced crew were mortified to find their skipper falling victim to a collision in the middle of a filthy storm.

When I lose a sub, I do not go back to reload. Real submariners had no such option, and I don't think it's right. If you die, start again. It makes your decisions that little bit more realistic, and the consequnces for me are the same.

Anyhow, nice to be here, and I look forward to swapping pixels on this site with the best of them!

Take care!

Kate

It was the "swapping pixels" line that sparked my interest.

Reminds me of the time I was accidentally rammed by a British freighter on my way to Scapa Flow in SH5. "It's not fair", I thought. Turns out it was fair, seeing as I was playing on 2% realism. 81% is better, I reckon.
